I’ve timed my leaving HPE well in that I’m still here for our big Q2 social activity, which is an afternoon in an escape room, preceded by a buffet at Slug & Lettuce. It is various shades of fried beige, all oddly unlabelled, but fills the stomach. We have an inordinate number of drinks tokens and it’s two for one on cocktails, so it’s a much boozier lunch than anticipated! I abandon an espresso martini that is very disappointing, despite high hopes on seeing it being made by hand rather than a pre-mix. Back to the malbecs for me then.
